Rivalry with the University of Ottawa

Since Carleton's inception the student body has encouraged a crosstown rivalry with the University of Ottawa. The rivalry has gained ground recently as the Carleton Ravens basketball team was defeated for only the second time in three years during league play by the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees on January 17, 2006. For the university in Ottawa, Kansas, see Ottawa University. ...

When Carleton University had a football team, the annual Ravens-Gee Gees match was held in Frank Clair Stadium at Lansdowne Park. This was known as the "Panda Game." Categories: Buildings and structures stubs | Stadiums | Ottawa buildings | Canadian football venues ...

University Traditions

• Climbing to the top of Dunton Tower

One of the campus traditions is to climb all 22 flights of stairs to the top of the tallest building on campus. The Tower is also known as "Isengard" due to its size and the fact that many TAs have their offices situated in it.

• The Alumni Park fountain

Students often jump in the Alumni Park fountain in front of the administrative building, Robertson Hall, during convocation, although they are generally warned that the water is dyed blue. The fountain is turned on during the summer months.

Carleton Underground

The Tunnel System

The entire University is connected by an elaborate five kilometre network of heated underground tunnels adorned with murals created by student groups. Students are encouraged, within reason, to create their own works of art. Each floor of the nine residence halls paint a tunnel mural near the end of each school year. It's not uncommon to see students wearing pajamas in class, having come directly from bed in Residence. Sky-lit or windowed student lounges and high-end snack-shops can be found at various points along the tunnel system.

Oliver's

Oliver's, or "Ollie's" (named after former President Michael Oliver) is the more well known of the campus pubs. With a generally more party atmosphere than Mike's Place, Oliver's is the venue for many high profile entertainment events throughout the year, and hosts regular weekday and weekend night events. All Ages events are no longer common after Oliver's rebuilding operations in 2006,and nearly all events are 19+, making some first-year students feel frustrated that they cannot take part in the social life of their university. Oliver's has a menu of principally North American foods, including University mainstays like burgers, fries, chicken fingers, as well as other light meals.

Oliver's begins serving alcohol at 11:00 am, and it's common to see students studying alone or in small groups while having a pint or a meal between classes. During the day Oliver's is generally pretty quiet and relaxed, with only background music, and it's a favoured place of study for those capable of tuning out distractions.

Oliver's underwent an extensive renovation in the Summer of 2006 and was reopened with a new industrial look the first week of October. The bar now features two plasma screen televisions, one big screen rear-projection television and other mid-sized sets throughout the venue. The bar also has a brand new patio.

Oliver's was the centre of student protests over the reduction of student space on campus. On 21 April 2005 protesters occupied Oliver's patio to prevent it from being torn apart to make way for a new university bookstore. The Carleton University Students' Association (CUSA) came to an agreement with the University and the protest ended. The agreement is colloquially known as "Oliver's clause".^[5] The Carleton University Students Association (or CUSA) is a non-profit corporation that represents the undergraduate students at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. ...

Mike's Place

Long considered the exclusive domain of graduate students, Mike's Place (named after former Liberal Prime Minister and former Carleton Chancellor Lester "Mike" Pearson) has quickly evolved into the on-campus home of aspiring hip-hop and electronic music DJs in the Ottawa area. The pub continues to host spoken-word poetry events and encourages open political discussion and debate. Fitting to its name, the Young Liberals club of Carleton often congregate here. Hip hop music is a style of music which came into existence in the United States during the mid-1970s, and became a large part of modern pop culture during the 1980s. ...

Rooster's Coffeehouse

Rooster's is a student-run café located on the 4^th level of the University Centre. It claims to have the lowest food prices on campus, however this title is also claimed by Leonardo's Lounge. In addition to a variety of coffees and tea, it serves homemade baked goods and other light snacks. There is a comfortable seating area and a large, wide-screen television.

Leonardo's Lounge

Leonardo's Lounge (named after Leonardo Da Vinci and known to most simply as "Leo's") is the social and cultural hub of the Carleton Engineering community. Located in room 3342 of the Mackenzie Engineering building, Leo's is operated as a service of the Carleton Student Engineering Society. Leo's is operated exclusively by volunteers and is the cheapest place to get a coffee or snack on campus. Common sights at Leo's include heated games of euchre, Axis and Allies and Settlers of Catan, as well as napping students.

Carleton has always been well-known in Canada and abroad for its Bachelor of Journalism and Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management programs, and has recently garnered a positive reputation for its generous awards and entrance scholarships (ranking n^o 1 in several editions of Macleans' university rankings report for student awards), as well as for newer programs such as the aerospace engineering program, the Bachelor of Industrial Design, and the Bachelor of International Business. Carleton University has been garnering increasing attention for the quality of its language courses.

Carleton University was known for admitting a high portion of undergraduate Arts applicants; however, since the early 1990's the admissions focus has changed considerably. Today, the mean undergraduate admissions average is just under 82% ^[9], or an A- in High School studies. Indeed, even under the previous system, Carleton was known as "an easy university to get in to, but a hard university to graduate from". The raison d être for this policy was that any student holding basic entry qualifications ought to be given the opportunity to succeed at university, and not that programs or course-work should be easy.

Many undergraduates find it difficult to retain their scholarship, adding to their financial burden. Only 18 percent of Carleton students retain their scholarship which has prompted Carleton's administration to consider lowering the CGPA necessary to maintain an award from year to year.^[10] At Carleton, a CGPA of 10 (out of 12 points) is necessary to maintain a scholarship.

Carleton has also turned around its financial situation, resulting in many improvements on campus. These include, inter alia, the $30 million construction of new athletics facilities and the $22 million, 9 011 m² (97 000 ft²) Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Institute Facility and the Centre for Advanced Studies in Visualization and Simulation (V-SIM). More well-known, perhaps, is the $17 million upgrade and expansion to the University Centre.

Canadian Forces

Each summer, Canadian Forces use Carleton residence facilities - notably Russell and Grenville Houses and the Residence Commons cafeteria - to house and feed the Ceremonial Guard. The Guard performs daily parades on Parliament Hill, and mounts sentries at Rideau Hall. This agreement is beneficial both to the university and the military, allowing the military to use cost-effective facilities, while Carleton profits during the otherwise slower summer season.
